Spincast reels

Abstract

A spincast reel having a central body having a front cover, a rear cover, a foot extending from the rear cover and adapted to be connected to a fishing bole; an opening on the front cover adapted to receive a fishing line; a spool hub; a handle connected to the central body; a transversal shaft connected to the handle; a main shaft extending axially through the spool hub; bushings, a drive gear, and a pinion gear operatively connected to the transversal shaft, the bushings, the drive gear, and the pinion gear rotate the transversal shaft; a first pickup pin and a second pickup pin located inside the spool hub, the first and the second pickup pins located diametrically opposed to each other; and the first and the second pickup pins move parallel to the fishing pole towards the front cover in a first position and towards the rear cover in a second position.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A spincast reel comprising:
 a central body having a front cover, a rear cover, a foot extending from the rear cover and adapted to be connected to a fishing pole; 
 an opening on the front cover adapted to receive a fishing line; 
 a spool hub; 
 a circular wall dividing the spool hub into a front section and a rear section, wherein the front cover of the central body covers the front section of the spool hub and the rear cover of the central body covers the rear section of the hub; 
 a line spool inside the spool hub and adapted to hold the fishing line, the fishing line passes through the opening of the front cover, then around the spool hub and finally into the line spool; 
 a handle connected to the central body, the handle; 
 a transversal shaft connected to the handle; 
 a main shaft extending axially through the spool hub; 
 bushings, a drive gear, and a pinion gear operatively connected to the transversal shaft, wherein the handle rotates the transverse shaft, the bushings support the transverse shaft for rotation, the drive gear is mounted on the transverse shaft and the rotation of the transverse shaft rotates the drive gear and drive gear drives the pinion gear; 
 a first pickup pin and a second pickup pin located inside the spool hub, wherein the first and the second pick up pins are spring loaded, wherein the first and the second pickup pins located diametrically opposed to each other; and 
 wherein the first and the second pickup pins move parallel to the fishing pole in a forward direction towards the front cover and in a backward direction towards the rear cover. 
 
     
     
       2. The spincast reel according to  claim 1 , wherein the first pickup pin and the second pickup pin are spring-loaded. 
     
     
       3. The spincast reel according to  claim 1 , wherein as the transverse shaft is rotated by the action of the bushings, the drive gear and the pinion causes the rotation of the main shaft, inducing the first and the second pickup pins to slide down in the forward direction, allowing an angler to turn the handle, which turns the drive gear, which turns the spool hub winding the line onto the line spool, wherein the first and the second pickup pins slide up to the backward direction, a button or a thumb bar is pushed by the angler allowing the fishing line to flow out from the line spool to allow cast-ability. 
     
     
       4. The spincast reel according to  claim 1 , wherein the front cover of the central body has a conical shape.
